(Follow up from Wednesdays post!!)

We are pair of Southern Pink-striped Oakworm Moths

I am the female, I'm bigger than my mate

I am the male with a transparent patch on my wing

I'm smaller, but she thinks I'm great.

(Note: Enlarge the photo on the bottom - you can actually see through the wings. It is too cool for school!)

Location: My house, Fellsmere
